THE INSTRUMAR FIBER SYSTEM:

Results

Real-time information from the Instrumar Fiber System™ is critical in measuring and improving these areas:

Top-Grade Yield

The ability to continuously monitor the quality of 100% of the yarn as it is being produced has been impossible until now. The Instrumar Fiber System® provides manufacturers with the capability to alarm, downgrade, and segregate packages based on specified yarn defects. Manufacturers can fix conditions that lead to faulty yarn in real time, thereby increasing top-grade yield.

Real-Time Decisions

At every plant installation, Instrumar software is installed on multiple computers: the line supervisor, quality manager, plant manager, and business unit manager all get access. Information from the Instrumar Fiber System provides the various functional groups that support production with the means to measure and continuously improve.

Business Unit/Plant Manager	Real-time information on plant production, package quality and traceability for making real-time decisions
Line Supervisor	Shift/hourly production performance reporting for machines and operators
Quality Department	Analysis of on-line information to proactively determine when the process is going out of specification
Maintenance Department	Identification of non-uniform machine conditions, allowing maintenance to pinpoint problems and conduct real-time versus preventative maintenance
Six Sigma Leader	Information allows for the measurement and quantification of issues at the root of Six Sigma or Continuous Improvement programs

Operator Performance

Line operators play a crucial role in maximizing machine output. Information from the Instrumar Fiber System can be used to identify operator actions that lead to downgraded packages or increased downtime. The Instrumar Fiber System also provides the capability for managers to track, measure, and benchmark shift efficiencies to help manage downtime.

Machine Uptime

The Instrumar Fiber System also provides valuable intelligence on non-uniform machine conditions. Isolating and alarming on machine-related issues has allowed manufacturers to move from preventative to real-time maintenance, thereby increasing machine uptime.

Customer Relationships

End-use customers are demanding increased quality, accountability, and traceability from the time the package is made to the time it is consumed. The Instrumar Fiber System stores a quality history of every package produced. Generate quality reports by package or time to satisfy the most demanding customer. This information provides manufacturers with the competitive edge in maintaining and developing new relationships with downstream customers.
